I have published many programs and articles in two large branches: security and economic/financial software.

My latest experience in security software was the new release of Xidie Security Suite: a complex security application that includes features like data compression, encryption, steganography, secure file deletion, and many other components. The purpose of this security suite was to protect computer files and folders and safely store them with minimum knowledge required from user. By combining cryptography with steganography, by using strong compression algorithms, well recognized and new encryption algorithms, classic and new steganographic techniques, standard deleting methods, Xidie Security Suite has became in a short time after launching  one of the top software steganography and encryption application and it was very well appreciated on many downloads sites.

Also, another application developed this year was VBScript-Mania, a Microsoft Access database that includes over 2000 predefined scripts with a brief description, supported platforms, a categorization scheme, multi-language support, syntax coloring, filter and find facilities and many others features.

Other well known programs developed by me in the last years were SpyXie products: SpyXie UnderNetwork (remote computer monitoring and administration software) and SpyXie Voice Chat (voice chat program for LAN with over 50000 downloads)

Trial versions of these programs can be downloaded from Internet

One of my last experiences was the cooperation with Hakin9 magazine. In the last months I wrote for this magazine three articles, all of them security related, two of them regarding “Alternate data streams” (accomplished by a program) and one of them regarding obfuscation and encoding. These articles appeared or will appear in Spanish and English numbers of this magazine.
